Chapter 673: The Great War is Coming
The consuls of various countries shared the same hatred of the enemy, and immediately issued an order for the chief of staff, Lov 'Mon' Vic, to lead 25,000 people north to support Beijing. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com], latest chapter access:. Almost at the same time, the report of the war in 'Jade' also reached the city of Beijing, and when the news of the annihilation of the 1,000 allied troops reached Seymour, Seymour was so angry that he kept falling down the red wine glass and was shot.
"'Bastard'! Damn the Chinese, they dare to attack our coalition forces so presumptuously, we must make them pay! ”
Enraged, Seymour had lost his composure as a commander-in-chief, and immediately ordered all the allied forces in Beijing to assemble at once and prepare for a decisive battle with the Chinese Revolutionary Army.
It's no wonder that Seymour was angry, in the battle of Langfang, he lost his troops and was ridiculed by the coalition generals for many days, and now Wadsey has just resigned, and the post of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces has been 'handed over' to himself, and then, it is the first 'stick', not to mention the military responsibility of a thousand people being annihilated, even this face can't afford to lose, it's too embarrassing! How will you be a man in the British Empire in the future?
At this time, Seymour has gathered generals from various countries, and now the composition of the army in Beijing is very complicated, with a total of 5,000 Japanese troops, 8,000 Russian troops, 2,000 British troops, 2,500 French troops, and the armies of other countries combined, totaling nearly 20,000 people.
The commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Chida Taro, hesitated and said: "General Seymour, the information we have obtained now is Zhang Yi himself
Led the army to come, this guy is scheming, it is difficult to deal with, and he has mobilized at least three divisions of troops, our troops seem to be a little weak, it is better to stand still, hold on to the city of Beijing, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Tianjin, when the time comes, our troops will have an overwhelming 'sex' advantage, and can definitely defeat the Chinese Tiger in one fell swoop, if you attack now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win! ”
The Japanese suffered enough under the Chinese tigers, and as long as they heard the word Zhang Yi, their scalps were numb, and they really did not dare to start a war with the Chinese tigers without being sure.
Seymour yelled angrily, "Shut up! What is there to fear about the Chinese? Don't forget, in the first battle of Langfang, we only had a few thousand people, and we defeated tens of thousands of Qing troops and nearly 100,000 Boxers. Our countries are 'elite', and we must not be frightened by those yellow-faced and thin-skinned East Asian sick men! ”
Raffarin, the commander-in-chief of the French ** team on the side, also shouted frantically: "No, we must defeat the Chinese tiger, I can't wait for a moment, 'bastard', we noble French soldiers can't die in vain!" ”
Yes, among the thousand people killed in the war, there were more than 300 French soldiers, close to 400, and the rest were Russians, there were many Russians, and most of them did not take life seriously, but France is different, a democratic and civilized society, and even more cherishes the existence of life, and was killed by hundreds of Chinese, this breath can not swallow anything, if he does not kill the Chinese tiger, I am afraid that his general position will be done, and those members of the parliament will not let go
over his.
At the insistence of Seymour and Raffarin, and with the support of other arrogant generals, the Japanese were already not of high status, and Chida Taro did not dare to 'interject', so he could only silently pray in his heart that Amaterasu would take care of his thousands of people, and that there would be no problems.
At this time, I thought that the staff officer strode into the conference room and said: "Your Excellency the commander-in-chief, I just got the information that the revolutionary army of the Republic of China has now entered the territory of Pinggu and is rapidly advancing towards Beijing City!" ”
Raffarin asked hatefully, "How many of them are there?" ”
The staff officer replied: "General Raffarin, according to the report of our spy personnel, under the direct leadership of Zhang Yi, they have about one division of troops, all infantry, and are advancing in the southwest direction!" ”
Seymour looked coldly at the military map, Pinggu, it is less than two hundred miles away from Beijing City, according to their speed, I am afraid, I am afraid that they will arrive in Beijing City tomorrow night, this time it seems that the troops will be sent in advance, well, the location is in Shunyi!
Seymour shouted: "This time we will do a big fight, isn't it the strength of a division?" The herald order, our allied forces left 1,000 people to protect the city of Beijing, and the rest all went to war, in Tangzhishan in Shunyi, we are fighting with them in a bright and bright way, Lao Tzu wants to let the Chinese tiger know that the majesty of the great powers is inviolable! ”
Raffarin said: "General Seymour, you can arrange it, this time our French army will definitely not take half a step back!" ”
Seymour nodded and said, "General Jangovich, I know that you have a thousand cavalry under your command, and immediately order the cavalry to advance
, occupy the commanding heights of Tangzhi Mountain first, and build fortifications! Prepare for the arrival of our great army; General Chida, this time I order you, the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, as the vanguard force, to set off immediately and block the enemy head-on, and the Russian army as the central army, as a response; General Raffarin, you and I personally lead the 'elite' soldiers of various countries to separate the two flanks, and attack the flanks of the Chinese Tiger army after the battle! I don't believe that they can stop our army of nearly 20,000, and we will crush the Chinese Revolutionary Army to pieces! ”
As an admiral, Seymour was able to make such an arrangement, which was already quite good, and in just a few hours, the 17,000 coalition troops had been assembled and began a rapid march towards Shunyi.
Today's Zhang Yi no longer knows where he drove Wu Shijun to an unknown place, and he led a division to quickly 'advance' towards Beijing, hundreds of cars pulling tens of thousands of people, and quickly 'advance'.
Cai Ye on the side said: "President, do you think that the coalition forces of various countries in Beijing City will definitely fight?" ”
Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Songpo, the British and the French are extremely arrogant, they will definitely fight, if the Japanese are the commanders of the coalition forces, they will definitely not rush to war, they have suffered enough under us, but under the strength of the British and French, they don't have much to say, not to mention, Zhang Yan's kid killed more than a thousand coalition troops in the 'jade' field, they would have been furious for a long time, I think they will definitely send troops directly to fight with us!" Cai Yi nodded and said: "Since there is going to be a war, the generals of the coalition army will definitely find a suitable place to wait for work and wait for the opportunity to occupy me."
We're a little cheaper. Zhang Yi laughed and said, "Cheap? Not so belligerent! You must know that in the northeast of Beijing, most of them are plains, there are no lofty mountains, there are only a handful of places they can find, and we are marching at full strength, they want to wait for work, they will definitely build fortifications near the capital, I think, this location must be in Shunyi, hehe, now compared to Shijun Division, has begun to march in a hurry, if you don't take advantage of this time, grab Beijing City, it is a fool! ”
